Supporting http and https #28

Closed honnibal closed 10 months ago

honnibal commented 4 years ago

We should consider adding a Pathy class that can support http/https endpoints. It wouldn't be able to do all operations, but we could do some, right?

path.open(): This could be mapped into a call to smart-open pretty easily.
path.exists(): try/except to open?
path.iterdir(): Not supported?
path.chmod(): Not supported, but should we no-op or raise?
path.is_dir() and path.is_file(): Not sure what to do about this.
path.rmdir(): Not supported?
path.mkdir(): Not supported?
path.unlink(): Not supported, or should we issue a delete request?

I'm going to close this issue because it's stale and I don't plan on implementing it. PRs to add this functionality are welcomed if someone finds it interesting.
